    Well, this was a turn of events.

    I couldn't agree more....I had a TC and pulled a large boat for years....now just the TT but my current Cummins Ram is licensed for above 17500 GVWR for just in case (mine taps out at 20K). I know I LOVE my Cummins exhaust brake and to tow haul transmission.

    Smokehouse Way - Aka the new home of the X-Fire Gill and Copper Pot

    Ha, yes I have/had a set up but I pulled it to keep an air gap…..Ie we are lucky to have pressurized irrigation water so no need to have a city connection point any more….I did keep the capped connection point just in case I ever need to add it back in….my city requires a test every year if you...
